So this man is some poor wanderer” (Homer, p. While Nausicaa’s impression is naïve and largely mediated by the confines of the situation, it holds a number overarching thematic elements regarding Odysseus’ characterization.

Together they ruled the land in bliss, until the unfortunate incident occurred when the two men were caught in their lies and put to death due to Daniel greediness for more and more power.

Although leeches are scarse in this season, the leech gatherer does not give up searching for them, as his life depends on them (Wordsworth 1802).
